Whenever i use yum,updates/primary_db and some more,will update themselves,is it really essential? i use dial up connection and it's really annoying to wait for them to be up to date and sometimes they stop because of low speed and will start from the beginning,can i do something not to let them to be up-to-date?
View 4 RepliesHow do i download and install updates? It says package not found.
View 4 Replies View RelatedFor some reason Update Manager is not installing updates as of yesterday.I have it set to check daily and notify if updates are available. It has been working without issues for well over a year now.
Update Manager tells me updates are available and presents the list of security, recommended, and other updates. All are selected to update, but when I select Install Updates in Update Manager it returns with a Reading Package Information window overlaid on the main Update Manager window - building dependency tree then reading state information and dumps me back to the main Update Manager window without performing any update actions.
I just learned that warsow 0.6 is out, and went to see if it was available in the ubuntu software center yet, as opposed to going and downloading and installing it manually from the warsow website. The ubuntu repo's still have version 0.5, and at the bottom of the page it says:
"Updates: Canonical does not provide updates for Warsow. Some updates may be provided by the Ubuntu community."
So if I wanted to 'update' this item in the repo's for the better of the community what would that entail?
There are some updates in the Update Manager list which I do not install. Among them, some drivers for HP Printers (I don't know why this cropped up; I don't even use printers on my laptop), and gcj updates (I use gcc/g++ but not gcj). I unchecked them the first time I saw them on my UM list. However, for every subsequent batch of new updates, UM retains these updates and I need to uncheck them every time. How can I remove them totally from my UM list?

View 5 Replies View RelatedSo, it is my understanding that Ubuntu's automatic updates do not install ANY updates that are not "important security updates." For example, it did not upgrade me to Firefox 4 automatically; I had to do it myself (Don't all new browser versions usually contain new security features/patches? Oh well...That is a separate question entirely).
ANYWAY, is there some way to get the latest stable versions of all of my open-source software automatically (or at least all at once, on command), instead of just security updates? It seems silly to have to install new versions for every program manually.
Also, related/side question: Now that I have installed Firefox 4 myself (via apt-get by adding the mozilla-stable PPA), will I stop getting security updates for Firefox through the standard Ubuntu update manager?
Actually, a really thorough explanation of the whole automatic update system (or a link to one) would be great too.
The little red popup window (packagekit) from the lower right showed yum updates
I did a yum update and no updates!
I tried again this morning and no updates
I'm running CentOS 5.4 and noticed that for the past month there haven't been any new updates showing up either on 'yum check-update' or 'yum update' (I'm interested in basic and security updates). Although this may be right, I wonder if there is an online reference where I can check the updates that are released for CentOS (security bulletins) and make sure if there is anything wrong with my update system.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running Linpus Linux Lite v1.0.9.E, and I need to update Adobe flash player, and when I go to update it, I get a choice of updates - YUM for linux, .tar.gz for linux and .rpm for linux. Now, I have two questions - (I am a total novice at this as I am more used to windows but i am now trying to use linux instead)
1) Which one do I need to download, or does it not matter
2) When I download it, how do I actually install the update on my computer? It tries to open it with a choice of applications, but then asks for a password, which I do not know, but after trying to update other things, I can still not get them to install. Is there a step-by-step guide anywhere that I can follow, being a bit stupid!

Just loaded 9.04 side by side with XP. HDD says it has 138 of 149 remaining....When I try to load updates in Ubuntu it says there is not enough space on HDD. Did I make a mistake loading side by side? Updates are many, so I also wonder if I can choose the ones I need.that is.....once I recognize what the hell, individually, they are.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an EeePC 701 4G running Ubuntu Netbook (10.04). I installed the system on its 4GB SSD for speed reasons - fast SD cards are expensive. I keep all user data on a fairly slow SD card. Problem is, after a few updates, I have less and less free space on the SSD. Since updating replaces old packages with newer ones, shouldn't the size remain more or less the same? I'm almost out of space and will probably have to stop updating the system soon... and yes, I do perform apt-get clean after every update. It helps, but the size is still steadily creeping upwards.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy update manager is alerting me of new updates to be installed and when I try to install them with apt-get, I receive this error message:
ronin-machine1:~$ sudo apt-get install updates
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package updates
This is the first time I've ever encountered problems updating. I tried updating apt-get thinking maybe this was the problem:
sudo apt-get update
It was successful but it wasn't the problem. I tried Google but the info I could find related to not being able to install specific software. I also tried rebooting my computer just as a last resort and that didn't do anything either.
Consider the following scenario: you have two disks that are kept synchronized by some method. Could be RAID, could be LVM snapshots, could be a script. However, something has gone wrong. The disks are out-of-sync and you don't know which disk received which updates. You want to manually re-sync the disks but how do you figure-out which file to copy where?
I'm thinking of saving recursive directory-listings of the entire disks to text-files. Sorting them on last-update and removing all identical entries from the files.
I have a feeling that this is something that can be done with just a few command's but I need some help to get me started.

View 3 Replies View Relatedim still a newbie but after long weeks discovering the best distro for my laptop and the my DWA-140 usb stick. i get a try with puppy. so far it's working stable but a lot of differences with the another "normal" distros. like fedora, suse, ubuntu etc. this one installs him self as a live boot cd to you HD. it's not possible to create more users.
another points but not important. my main question it's like the another distros Lucid puppy updates him selvs automatically to a newer version? just a quick point who has a D-LINK DWA 140 just need to get the windows .inf file from XP and use it to install with the software repo for windows inf files. that cames with puppy.
has the another distros also this utility tool? in the last puppy is a very stable and very very very easy to use distro from linux that use as base ubuntu!
On Windows, 99% of the time you have to restart the server after installing updates. In my brief experience with Linux, its never told me I had to. Do you ever have to restart after installing any for Linux? I'm using redhat specifically if that matters.
